Saltmarsh & Samphire

I thought I'd share information about the latest Couch to 5k coaching sessions that my lovely local running club will be holding from May 2019. Having run previously (about 10 years ago for the last time with any conviction) and having let it all slip (easy to do, right?) I thought I would join 2018's class of Couch to 5kers and see if I could make it stick this time. Well, one year on and I am still running, and I have joined Runners-next-the-Sea again. I think doing to Cou

How has everyone coped with Storm Gareth? It's been very blustery here, making for some interesting days! We are hoping that the stormy weather does move on soon though - we much prefer the sunshine and calm. Fingers crossed for a quieter weather week to come... #weather #stom #StormGareth #Sunshine #WellsnexttheSea #norfolk #NorthNorfolk

We can hardly believe that this is what Wells looked like at the very end of February and early March last year. This year we had a mini heatwave over half term - blue skies and sunshine, what a huge difference! While it was incredible to see all that snow, I think we know which year we preferred! #snow #beachhuts #WellsnexttheSea #Norfolk #NorthNorfolk #Weather #BlueSkies #Sunshine

Has everyone survived after our brush with Storm Erik? It certainly made the beginning of February interesting! But all seems to have settled down now, and after a great start to the month we are now thoroughly enjoying half term. It is great to see the town busy again and lovely to see some more settled weather coming to stay. Hopefully spring will definitely spring up very soon. Enjoy the sunshine if you have it! #HalfTerm #Norfolk #NorthNorfolk #WellsnexttheSea #Photogra

What a gorgeous early evening on the quay! We could have stayed there forever looking at the calm water and the rising moon. Bliss #Norfolk #NorthNorfolk #WellsnexttheSea #Fullmoon #moon #calm #quay #boats

We are suckers for old boats like this one - they are full of charm (and water usually). Another beautiful early evening saw the moon rise over still water and the sky turn a perfect dusky pink. Wonderful. #boats #moon #pink #duskypink #sunset #calm #fullmoon #WellsnexttheSea #norfolk #NorthNorfolk

With the weather we have been enjoying lately you might be forgiven for thinking that the high summer season has started already! How lucky we have been after a misty start to June to have weeks and weeks of gorgeous summer sunshine in Wells. We are working very hard in the background here at Saltmarsh and Samphire to get lots of new images in the gallery for you to look at during our summer season when we will be open 7 days a week - we will be open everyday from 20th July

We have had some wonderfully weird weather here lately - the Beast from the East certainly made himself felt a couple of weeks ago. It was lovely to take a walk down to the beach huts and see them in all their glory in the snow - something that you really don't see everyday! I had the beach all to myself, and it was beautiful. Apart from battling the weather, we have also celebrated my sister's wedding last weekend - what a special day. We were taking the photos and it was

Is it too early for the C word? I'll whisper - it's coming up to Christmas! We are attending two lovely Christmas fairs this year, and we thought we would share them with you. Getting in a little bit early is North Creake Abbey Barns with their Christmas Gift Fair on 25th November 2017. We will be getting in the festive spirit from 10-3, and we are really looking forward to it. The weekend after is our big fair of the year, we are very excited to be part of Deepdale Christm

It's been a little on the quiet side wild wise from us over the last few days - unless watching the brilliant Springwatch every evening counts. We think it counts! Little things like watching a sunset mean all the more when you are busy and think that there is just not time to fit in a little bit of wildlife. There is - and it is maybe not as difficult as we might think. And as a little added bonus - we also captured a bee on this shot going about it business! #garden #TheW
